Please delete that picture. It has the gore from the dead guy still present in it, and it's several years old anyway.

Ya this has been around for a while now and the threads get locked. Point is good about texting and driving, it's distracting and dangerous.

Please get you facts straight. This was posted a few years back. it has only been in the last week or so that the texting issue was added to it. Beside we don't need to see a picture of every Corvette wreck across the country.

It's sad that this fellow (C5) Corvette owner died in this awful crash a few years ago.

What is more sad is how theirs tragic event keeps getting recycled to push other agendas.

Yes, texting while driving (any car) is a stupid and irresponsible thing to do. But so is drinking and driving, eating and driving and taking meds before driving.

Today's modern luxury cars have more electronic distractions than the average living room 10 years ago.
